What’s the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in New York is three years from the date of the injury. If not filed within three years, a claim is no longer valid. However, there are exceptions to the statute of limitations that allow lawsuits to be filed after this three-year period has passed.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are five different ways that a lawsuit can be filed after the three-year limit has passed:<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Fraudulent Concealment: If the person or company you are suing concealed information that would have prevented you from filing your lawsuit on time, you can file suit up to six years after discovering the information was withheld.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Equitable tolling: If you have been unable to file a claim because of physical or mental disability, you can file suit up to two years after your disability ends.<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Minors: If a minor was injured, they can file suit up to six years after they turn 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Discovery of additional injuries: You may discover additional injuries that weren’t previously apparent up to two<\/span><\/p>\n

years after they occur.<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Discovery of additional wrongdoers: You may discover additional parties who were responsible for your injury up to two years after they are discovered.<\/span><\/p>\n
